Meet Joelie Bird
You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.
- Maya Angelou
​I'm Joelie Bird, and I would love to be your Celebrant.
I have always found myself working amongst the creative:
​​
Creativity drives me and everything I do is with immense passion and dedication. If I don't feel emotionally invested in a task I find it hard to do!
These skills work very closely together and compliment one another really well.
I create ceremonies for weddings, funerals, baby namings amongst others, and I offer rich bespoke script writing that really sounds like those involved in the ceremony. That is of upmost importance to me.
​​
These ceremonies can be free from traditions; they are open, honest, vibrant and inclusive of all lifestyles and circumstance. I love to write and I pride myself on designing ceremony scripts that work for you and your situation with intimate and unique script.​
I suppose I work around 'Transitions' a lot. I sometimes say we move in the fringes - the hidden parts of society that don't get seen so much but are so crucial and absolutely necessary.
​
I create art that depicts the illusive feminine, with aspects of whimsy. Usually it's fine ink and watercolour but sometimes it's hairdresser or shop/cafe murals on walls. Art can translate into weddings where I have the pleasure of creating art for special days as well.
​
I have many children's books published and writing is a most favourite things of mine to do, share and use to evoke.
​
I'm a queer mumma to three at varied ages. I have a loving and powerful partner who inspires me everyday. I have a slight problem with boundaries around collecting guinea pigs and miniatures. I feel blessed by the community and lifestyle here in Adelaide as I have the freedom to explore many of the passions that grab me at whim. Nice for an ADHD entrapaneur!
​
I work only with people who match my values and high expectations for what my clients deserve and have come to expect.
​
I'd love you to contact me if you think I'm the right fit for your event, your walls, your pages.
